I have created two cards featuring Brutus Monroe's Gilded Ultra Fine Embossing Powder & my Simon Says Stamp January Card Kit.

I lightly blended Tumbled Glass Distress Ink  over my card stock and once dry stamped some of the pretty snowflakes from Snowflake Builder stamp set using my SSS embossing ink pad & sprinkled on the embossing powder & heat embossed them. I also stamped more snowflakes using Simon Says Stamps Fog Gray & Surf Blue Ink Pads & then highlighted some areas with a Sakura white gel pen.

I die cut a Mini Snowflake Mandala from the same SSS card kit using Gold Glitter card stock & I also heat embossed a banner & sentiment from the Snowflake Builder stamp set which I fussy cut before adding to my card.

My second card is very similar I just added some  Broken China Distress Ink in places to my background, the pretty SSS Merry Christmas sentiment stamp and a Prima flower & twine.

I have created two cards for this challenge as I was really enjoying spending some much needed time in my craft room & inspiration was on my side that day.

My first card features Altenew's Build A Flower Gardenia Stamps & Dies set & Square Weave Pattern Stencil.

I have heat embossed my images with SSS White Fine Detail Embossing Powder & watercoloured using Simon Says Stamps Daniel Smith watercolour palettes. To create a simple background I used Altenew's Square Weave Stencil blended with Simon Says Stamps Fog Gray Ink Pad and I added some twine & some Lucky Charmz embellishments.

The sentiment stamps are from Simon's It's Your Birthday stamp set & have been stamped using SSS black pigment ink.

My next card has been created using Altenew Monochrome Washi Tape which I have adhered to card stock, fussy cut & added to a stenciled background created with Altenew's Watercolour Stripes Stencil & Weathered Wood Distress Ink.

I have created a very simple background by stamping one of the accessory stamps in Simon's Christmas Cheer stamp set in SSS White pigment ink & then stamping over the white dots using the music notes accessory stamp from Simon's Love Always stamp set in SSS Black pigment ink.

I've added a sentiment from Simon's Everything Winter Sentiment Strips & a couple of sparkly gems to finish.
